His Zaku II had been sent deep into Side 7 to discover what he could about the secret Federation V project. Unbeknownst to him, the Unicorn Gundam had been suck backwards in time, to the same location. Faced with something beyond his acceptance, the Zaku tries to assert his superiority… The battle will be short, but the effects to Side 7 will be devastating…

In honor of finishing the Prebuild for HG Unicorn Destroy Mode, I decided to do a photo shoot with my HG Zaku II. I took one photo, then realized that I needed some light. It’s nice to have a father with an film/animation production studio in his basement. I was able to quick grab lights, gels, and everything I needed to light a great scene. Sadly, for the “Money Shot”, the camera ended up focusing on the background, and not the suits. I had already taken down the lights when I found out. THAT’LL teach me to look before I disassemble… The wider shots look great though, as do the close ups!

You know what sucks? Trying to update while an electrician is turning power on and off to find out what powers what. Anyways, I thought I’d let you all know what’s going on…

Decided to go back to my older kits and glue together some of the more troublesome parts. SD Wing Zero has his V-Fin and “ears” glued on. The ears were a lot harder to do than I anticipated. Once they dry, I’m going to reassemble the head.

I also did some work on my HG GvZ kit. The thrusters on the Gundam’s backpack kept falling off, so I glued them into place. Same with the V-Fin. For the Zaku, I glued the commander’s fin into the replacement panel, (just so it couldn’t get separated and lost) and I had to glue the Machine Gun’s eye-piece into place. Somewhere along the way while I was originally assembling it, I think I broke part of it, or cut too close, and the eye-piece never sat in the gun correctly. So I decided to glue it into place, as I don’t ever see a need to have it move. Been thinking about gluing together some of the hands that hold the weapons, but I haven’t decided about that one way or another.

And, since I had the camera out, I thought I would post, for the first time anywhere, my first Master Grade & my first RX-78-2! So far I’ve done a lot of the frame, except for the arms. It’s just snap-fitted, but it’s coming along!

Finally, we get to my backlog. Been wanting to post this for a while now, but I haven’t been able to get any good photos of it lately.

Been spending the last couple of hours figuring out how to upload and manage my photos on here. Was half tempted to write my own system two or three times.

The first program wouldn’t upload my images, even though they were being put on the server. When I figured out the problem, I managed to get a few on, but then the display part of it wouldn’t load, so I gave up on that one. The second program worked perfectly, until it was time to display the images, then it kept giving me an error which, according to various posts I found, meant that it couldn’t see the images to display them, even though the gallery management saw them perfectly.

Finally, I found a gallery program that WORKED. And of course, that’s when my internet decided to slow down and drop some packets. So, a few hours later, I got two galleries of photos uploaded. More will come, but for now, enjoy the galleries of my HG 08th MS Team edition Gundam VS Zaku II, and my SD Wing Gundam.
